We have an oVirt 4.5.6 cluster with a self-hosted engine with an iSCSI Data (Master) domain. The oVirt UI shows that it has plenty of space: Size: 66559 GiB Available: 46359 GiB Used: 20200 GiB Allocated: 22589 GiB When trying to create a new disk, however, we receive the errors below complaining that the Volume Group has insufficient free space. How can we safely reclaim this space, ideally without shutting down ever VM that’s using this storage domain? Although “multipath -ll” shows the underlying devices on the host machines, the normal “pvs / vgs / lvs” commands don’t see them.
